@touchofpowder7 Imagine the help & guidance your Dad would have provided to Bukayo Saka.

25 years today. Feels like an eternity. So loved and so missed. Love you Dad ❤️❤️❤️

@pitts_adrian @NHSEngland And what choice do we have? Don’t try to get in contact online outside of the prescribed opening hours, “computer says no”!

@NHSEngland Hmm?🤔 might be to do with having to do it that way now? Figures can say what you want them to! Do ONS capture the phone lines usage for urgent cases? Or people who can’t access online routes?

Millions of people are using online consultation requests to contact their GP each month – giving patients more flexibility and freeing up phone lines for urgent cases. Recent ONS figures show online is now the most popular way to contact GPs. ℹ️ england.nhs.uk/2025/10/millio…

@willow1886 According to the Athletic

I’m hearing that the media have been invited to the Emirates Stadium tomorrow, possible player arrival ⏳ No, I don’t know who, but I’d guess it’s low key. Monday is another day…

It’s important to know what's normal for your body. Here are some tips on how to identify bowel cancer symptoms early and what to do if you spot something unusual for you 👇 Your symptoms are unlikely to be cancer but if they are, getting diagnosed early can make a difference.

@pitts_adrian Ooh, what a beauty!! Love this cheeky song, always goes down well in my Old Time Music Hall singalong collection. Did your Dad sing the lady’s voice in falsetto? I do! #goodolddays #musichall #singalong

Classic. Reminds me of my dear old Dad ❤️

Thank you @tonight for including so many important messages about the rise in incidence of cancer in young people and for allowing me to explain about #JessLaw

Bukayo Saka ran straight to Sam Wilson, the lead physical performance coach at Arsenal, after he scored on his return from injury against Fulham tonight. Mikel Arteta on Bukayo Saka: “The best example is his reaction. After he scored a goal what does he do? He goes and says thank you to the sports science and physios for what they’ve done for him. He lifted the stadium and energy.” This is why Arsenal fans adore him. ❤️

@Mylovanov Who needs tariffs? Free trade sounds like a great idea but does it work if a government gives huge state subsidies to home industry, distorting the export & import price? #tariffs #freetrade #EU #USA #UK

Ursula von der Leyen defies Trump: Many Europeans feel disheartened by the new U.S. tariffs. Europe didn’t start this. But we have what we need — the biggest single market, the leverage to negotiate, the means to strike back. We’ll defend our interests. 1/

@sharrond62 50 yrs of NI paid, 1975-2025, mix of employed & self-employed from 16. £11,973 (full) state pension due at 66 in 3 months. Still self-employed & still paying Class 4 NICs until 2025/26 ends. Tax on income over £12,570 too. Retirement age is only going to go up even more.

I’ve paid NI for my state pension, along with my salery related income tax, every single year, in full, of my working life, since I was 18 I’m 62 (44yrs & counting) & I’m still paying - now Labour are suggesting that moneys not mine but possibly someone else’s who’s never worked a single day!🤬

Thank you for your support.

Thank you to David Meek @bigdavemk & the St Albans Singers for a wonderful festive singalong last Saturday at @the-galleria in Hatfield & to everyone who donated. You helped raise £319.50 for @CarersinHerts Thanks also to #WelwynHatfield Mayor Cllr Frank Marsh for his support.

4 years ago today my lovely Jess wrote this. She died 9 days later. Jess’ late diagnosis & death devastated us. Tomorrow I meet the SoS for Health @wesstreeting to urge him to implement @JessLaw . With the support of nearly 1/2 a million people I hope he listens. #earlydiagnosis

Four years ago today, Jess & I sat close, our heads touching, the phone between us. A question hung in the air. Could Jess get to the hospital? The word ‘sweetheart’ used liberally. Just the change of tone signalled our biggest fear. Cancer. 🧵 1/10
